Chemical investigation and biological activity of phytoconstituents from methanol extract of Abutilon indicum leaves

Ambarsing, P. Rajput1* and Mil

Abstract

Eudesmic acid, ferulic acid and caffeic acid have been isolated from the methanol extract of leaves of the plant Abutilon indicum. The concerted use of IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy and chemical methods allowed the identification of these compounds. The antibacterial and antifungal activity has also been studied for these isolated compounds.
